Highway Safely Objective Of Drivers' Training Good sportsmanship, a thorough knowledge of rules and regu- lations of the road and practical experience in driving skills are necessary qualities for every driver. Making notebooks concerning Florida traflic laws, learning the correct care of vehicles and ab- sorbing safety rules are a large part of the class work, Learning the location and the use of various parts of the vehicle aids the boys and girls when they finally attempt to drive. Students receive valuable, practical experience behind the wheel as they put to practice the driving techniques studied in the class. This useful course has helped sophomores, juniors and seniors become safety-minded and has lowered the high accident record of teenage drivers. THE REAL TEST of whe+her or no'r a sfudenl' is a safe driver comes when he gels a chance io do +he aclual driving. Here Mr. Buck Me'Hs is accompanying Erik VanBrero.

That is the substance under the microscopes that holds the attention of these biology students. lT'S ALWAYS A CHALLENGE to biology students to 'find at least one ofthe five pairs of hearts in an earthworm. Sandy lbarguen looks on while Coleen Johnson does the dissecting. X 30 lntriguecl Students Probe Scientific Mysteries To help meet todays need for better trained scientists, high schools throughout the country have added advanced scientific subjects to their curricula. These courses, in addition to the regular subjects, are offered to promising young scientists to give them a strong foundation in the scientific field. Frequently the piquant odor of formaldehyde drifts through the school as sophomores diffidently dissect various lab speci- mens. These biology students examine parasites and bacteria under the microscope discovering much about the mysterious make-up of the universe. Individual field trips and reports on nature also help nurture the scientific interests of the students. Those whose reports and projects are best-proudly exhibit them for competition at the Science Fair in February. juniors and seniors receive a basic knowledge of chemistry by learning fundamentals in the classrooms and practicing them in the laboratory. Daily classwork, reading assignments, weekly experiments and lab Writeups help the students learn. New to Boone this year is the special chemistry class in which qualified boys and girls delve further in the wonders of modern chemistry. Each pupil has two periods a day, spending one in the laboratory. In addition to studying sound and light in physics, students spend several weeks learning the principles behind radio, elec- tronics magnetism and television. To teach the l'how and why of the mechanics of everyday life is the primary aim of this class. Through these varied courses, the school trains the alert students of today to become the adept scientists of the future.
